Trient Partners I, Ltd. v. Blockbuster Entertainment Corp.

Opinion on Limited Remand

HUGHES, District Judge.

1. Introduction.

This court entered an interlocutory order on November 30,1995, interpreting the franchise clauses of the System License between Trient and Blockbuster. Blockbuster appealed seeking a stay, a reversal, and a writ of mandamus. The court of appeals entered a stay on December 7 and then lifted it on December 13 for the district court to consider a newly-filed motion for severance to make the interlocutory order final. On the limited remand Blockbuster has asked for substantive reconsideration of the order about the termination clause.
